[Intro]
A C#m x4

[Verse]
A                         C#m
Is it all so very simple
         D            E
And horribly complex?
Bm                        E
You suffer in a thimble
                    A                         D
And there's nothing coming next

         A                               C#m
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
        D                       A
Her voice a cutting drone
Bm                              E
So creeping out, you pass the bar
          A                        D
Your father's second home
                    A           D -   E
That leaves you on your own
A                       C#m
Nights I'd often watch you
D                         E
Float across the grounds
Bm                 E
Out the gate to the motorway
          A                          D
What secrets have you found?
A                         C#m
You had to know I wanted
D                                A
Something from you then
Bm                           E
Too young to know just what it was
                   A                   D
Something more than a friend
                  A   D -   E
Is that you at the end

[Verse]
                  F#m - E       Bm                D (D - E)
Where you play in the street at night
F#m - E             Bm        D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                      Bm              D (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
       A                 C#m           G
Are you gonna let these Americans
                    E
Put another dent in your life?
A C#m x2
       A                          C#m
My mother says your dirty
             D                        E
They're gonna find you dead
Bm                     E
But have you got that final chapter
A                       D
Written in your head?
            A                  C#m
Cause every single story
       D                   A
Is a story about love
Bm                   E
Both the over flowing cup
              A                      D
And the painful lack thereof
                    A           D -  E
You got the heart of a dove
               F#m - E        Bm              D (D - E)
But, you play in the street at night
F#m - E           Bm         D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                       Bm             D (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#m            E                         Bm        D        (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
     A                    C#m        G
If you're gonna let these American boys
                    E
Put another dent in your life

[Instrumental]
Bm Bm/A E x4

[Verse]
        F#m - E        Bm              D (D - E)
you play in the street at night
F#m - E           Bm         D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                      Bm               D (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#m            E                          Bm        D       (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
      A                     C#m         G
Or you're gonna let these Americans
                    E
Put another dent in your life

[Outro]
A C#m x7
